Normative Aliases
A normative character name alias is a formal, unique, and stable alternate name for a character. In limited circumstances, characters are given normative character name aliases where there is a defect in the character name. These normative aliases do not replace the character name, but rather allow users to refer formally to the character without requiring the use of a defective name. For more information, see Section 4.8, Name.
Normative aliases which provide information about corrections to defective character names or which provide alternate names in wide use for a Unicode format character are printed in the character names list, preceded by a special symbol ". Normative aliases serving other purposes, if listed, are shown by convention in all caps, following an “=”. Normative aliases of type “figment” for control codes are not listed. Normative aliases which represent commonly used abbreviations for control codes or format characters are shown in all caps, enclosed in parentheses. In contrast, informative aliases are shown in lowercase. For the definitive list of normative aliases, also including their type and suitable for machine parsing, see NameAliases.txt in the UCD.
This makes it clear that stuff in parentheses is an abbreviation and not part of the official character name or alias. Clean up [lex] as modified by "P2314R4 Character sets and encodings" (commit 3505e2a) to remove the abbreviations.
